Chuck,
Yeah, we're getting wholloped way too early.
Had built skis for a U/L years ago, they're a real kick to fly on. New
things to learn too. Like think ahead when it comes to taxiing in to stop
before the next ride. If a plane with conventional gear has skis, you
CAN'T pick up the tail and walk it around. It will twist the gear off.
Also getting started by working the rudder from side to break the skis loose
from the snow.
They are fairly easy to make. Pull a wheel off and slide on a ski!

--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: rhartwig11@juno.com
Mike,
Bill Rewey made his center section 3-feet wide instead of 2-feet. His
wing panels are built as to plans. This gives him 1-foot more wingspan
than standard. He made no other changes because of the increased
wingspan. I am building my wings the same way. His plane has a Cont.
A-65 and has been flying for several years and has hundreds of hours
logged with passengers (many of them Young Eagles.) Bill weighs close to
200# and has flown passengers in the 235# range (on warm days!) Bill
does not have e-mail, but if you contact me at rhartwig11@juno.com I can
put you in touch with him. Bill is well known for his Pietenpol forums
at AirVenture and Sun n' Fun.

Does anyone have any experience/knowledge about building Piets with
varying
wingspans? Seems to me that if one isn't going for speed, one may as well
go for
shorter takeoff rolls(?), shallower glide path(?), etc, and therefore
maybe
extend the wings just a bit.
Would this require any changes to the tail surfaces?

My back headrest is 3" taller and my seat is as low as I could go and still
have room for the cables to fit under it. I also cut the knee holes in the
front seat back higher (like mike). Instrument boards are 11" high.

You can find an article about Mark Anderson's Pietenpol here,
http://members.aol.com/bpabpa7315/mark.html. It says his wing are 2 feet
longer.

There's someone over on the west coast of Florida who stretched the wings on
his Piet. Can't remember his name and I can't find my notes right now but I
sat in his plane at SNF 2003. It was stretched 4 feet (not sure if that was
total, or per side) and the plane has been modified to look a bit like a
Curtiss Jenny. Said it flew just like a Pietenpol... not sure the reason for
the change though.

We have all heard of Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. Is Wright Field named after
both of the Wright Brothers or is it named for only one and, if so, which one
of the Wright Brothers is Wright Field named after?
